Book your transferMontego Bay, St. James
Sangster International Airport is Jamaica's busiest gateway, welcoming over four million visitors a year to the north coast. Located on the western tip of Montego Bay, MBJ connects you to Negril's seven miles of white sand, the elegant Rose Hall corridor, Ocho Rios waterfalls, and every resort in between. With a pre-booked transfer, the partner's driver meets you at arrivals with a name board — no queues, no haggling, no confusion. From the moment you step off the plane, your Jamaica holiday has begun. Partners set their own vehicles, flight tracking and prices. Whether you are heading to a Sandals resort, a clifftop villa in Negril, or a business meeting in Kingston, we will get you there in comfort.
Four million arrivals a year. Yours starts with a name board and a cold towel.
